With the increasing popularity of nanofluids (NFs), understanding their thermal properties is critical. In this paper, a thermal constant analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of copper/palladium bimetallic nanostructure-based nanofluids using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the addition of the nanoparticles enhanced the thermal conductivity of the nanofluids by approximately 19%....
This study investigates the properties of a material to be used as an energy storage medium that can use energy stored from the summer months, and then release it during the winter. The proposed material uses a graphite foam, with ZnO coatings with a flower like morphology, to house a sugar alcohol phase change material (PCM). The thermal conductivity of the material was measured using a transient plane source (TPS) ...
